FAQs

Are glass bongs best?

Most smokers would say that glass bongs offer the best performance - with a cleaner taste, and a consequently better hit. The main drawbacks for glass bongs are simply cost and to some degree durability.

Do glass bongs break easily?

Glass bongs can break just like any other kind of glassware. Silicon bongs have a degree of natural flexibility meaning they can better survive drops. But it's still not very easy to smash a glass bong: if you're careful they will last as long as any other glassware such a drinking glasses etc.

Will boiling water break a glass bong?

There is a small chance that a glass bong could break with the addition of boiling water - but it is a very small chance: modern glass bongs are made with tempered glass that can handle rapid temperature changes. Probably not worth worrying too much about!

How often should you clean your glass bong?

A glass bong is unlikely to stain or gain any of mould that can't be washed off with a damp cloth or a careful fingertip. The best reason to clean your bong is basically taste: if not cleaned properly you could end up with stale tasting hits, so it's generally a great idea to rinse your bong clean with warm water after every session.
